Risk management in nanotechnology can be enhanced by implementing a comprehensive risk assessment framework that includes:
- Hazard Identification: Understanding the intrinsic properties of different nanomaterials. - Exposure Assessment: Evaluating the likelihood and extent of human and environmental exposure. - Risk Characterization: Combining hazard and exposure data to assess potential health and environmental risks. - Risk Communication: Effectively communicating risks to stakeholders, including the public, regulatory bodies, and industry.
